The students of scholars in Wendao Academy have to return to their hometown to visit relatives, return home in glory, and return home in glory. Then, they have to handle matters such as enrollment in county schools and government schools. Only when they have time can they return to the academy. Generally, it is more than a month later.

Therefore, Jia Huan didn't know about Zhang Po scolding him. After a while, Japanese and Korean scholars wrote to him. When he learned that the Zhang family was fired and Zhang Po was exiled the next year, he just laughed at him.

Han Xiucai wrote a letter, talking about his dragon-slaying technique, and asked some details about the organization and propaganda work. Jia Huan replied to him.

These are all things to come in the future. In the autumn of the ninth year of Yongzhi, in early September, Jia Huan was still trying to figure out one thing: did the mountain chief Zhang Anbo intend to re-enter the official position? Now there is a good opportunity.

On the evening of the seventh day of the September 19th, a group of hungry people came to Dongzhuang Town, with about 200 people.0 immediately settled the academy. When Jia Huan was strolling in Dongzhuang Town in the morning, he learned about this situation and went to find Ye Shuolang in the west wing room at noon.

Ye Shulang had just had lunch and was drinking tea at the coffee table by the window. When he saw Jia Huan come in, he smiled and said, "Have you gone to the town again? Take a seat."

Jia Huan comes to Ye Shulang from time to time these days to chat, and chat about the topic casually. However, today Jia Huan wants to talk about some serious things and sits on the side of the coffee table, "Sir, do you know if you have something to ask?"

Ye Shanlang smiled and said, "If I don't let you ask, wouldn't you ask? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jia Huan said: "Disciple wants to ask, in the opinion of Mr., the mountain chief has no idea of ​​becoming an official again? Now there is a good opportunity." Ye Shuolang and the mountain chief have a good personal relationship.

"oh?"

"The flood has passed now. After the major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. Our academy is well prepared for it. But in fact, you can write a note to promote it. With such contributions, you should be able to establish yourself in the court. It is just that someone needs to present this note to the court. The mountain leader has connections in the court. If he wants, he can present it."

Ye Shulang pondered and said slowly: "In my opinion, the mountain leader is still determined to do something." He added, "You go and have a conversation with Wen."

Wen Yue is the name of senior brother Gongsun Liang.

Jia Huan nodded. If the mountain chief is unwilling to become an official, it would be unbeautiful for him to write a note to the mountain chief. So I still have to ask first. The mountain chief is still very good to him. He has great trust and support.

He submitted a new reconstruction academy to the mountain chief a few days ago. The mountain chief didn't even look at the big plan of Dongzhuang Town. He agreed directly and said, "Let go and do it. I believe you. You just need to pay attention to rest. After your health is well-behaved, focus on your energy."

Now that there is such a good opportunity, he naturally has to plan for the mountain leader.

When Jia Huan went to Shangshe to find Gongsun Liang, he learned that he had gone to Tanzhe Temple on the mountain to relax. The senior brother was in a bad mood in the imperial examination hall, and he was really depressed.

In the evening, Gongsun Liang, who came back, went to the side hall of Jia Huan's west wing where he lived. The side hall was furnished with a candle. Jia Huan was writing slowly. Gongsun Liang was wearing a green robe and a gentleman, but he looked haggard and not energetic. He asked, "Junior Brother Jia, do you have something to do with me?"

Jia Huan stood up and gave up his seat to Gongsun Liang, said what he said to Ye Shanlang, and then said, "Senior Brother Gongsun, what do you think of the mountain leader?"

As the closed disciple of the mountain chief Zhang Anbo, Gongsun Liang was still very clear about his teacher's thoughts. After thinking for a while, he said, "My teacher is sixty and fourteen years old this year. I still want to do something. When he was relieved that day, you also heard the teacher's feelings:

I sighed and covered my tears, mourning the hardships of people's livelihood. Although I like to cultivate and be restrained, I am determined to be in the morning and wait for me in the evening. However, my teacher's friends in the court have repeatedly recommended me but failed. I wasted my time. I can only teach and entertain my feelings."

I'm sorry. This means there is a lot of resistance. Jia Huan thought about it and said, "Let's try it out."

Jia Huan pulled out a stack of ordered paper from his desk. This was the epidemic prevention regulations he had sorted out in the past two days. He wrote the epidemic prevention matters during the academy's disaster relief. But it was not systematically sorted out. At that time, the mountain chief told him to sort them out. Unfortunately, a series of things happened later. First, he was a kiln worker, but later he fell ill. He only started doing it recently.

"Ha, Junior Brother Jia, you are still recuperating, so don't do these complicated things." Gongsun Liang took it and flipped through it, looked at Jia Huan's handsome font, and shook his head and persuaded.

"I didn't waste my brain. I just sorted out and added some things." As he cared, Jia Huan explained with a smile, and went out to Qushuiyuan with Gongsun Liang to find the mountain chief Zhang Anbo.

The Qushuiyuan has an elegant and quiet structure. Unfortunately, after living in the kiln workers, it was almost broken and a bit messy.

At around 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, the mountain captain Zhang Anbo had not yet rested and was studying in the study. When he saw the two most proud disciples in the academy visit, he smiled and asked them to sit down, "Wen Yue, Jia Huan, what's the matter with whom he came?"

Jia Huan presented the epidemic prevention regulations and said, "Master, I think this regulations should be promoted and opened, and it is best if the court comes forward. Our academy will not play such a big role."

The mountain chief Zhang Anbo is a generous person and is not good at practice, but it does not mean that he is confused. He looked at Jia Huan deeply and pointed out Jia Huan, "You."

He, a disciple, has first-class temperament and ability, and is the best choice. But he just doesn't have the idea of ​​helping the world. He just wants to live his own life. He doesn't bother to care about the irrelevant people. This really made him shake his head a little.

The mountain chief Zhang Anbo accepted the epidemic prevention regulations, took a sip of tea, and said, "I am a good friend of Grand Secretary He in the court. I will promote this document." Whether the credit lies in him or not, it doesn't matter. What is important is to reduce the occurrence of plague.

Jia Huan smiled.

The mountain chief Zhang Anbo said: "Wen Yue, you have not had the heart to study recently. Don't go out to relax. Help Jia Huan complete the reconstruction of the academy and Dongzhuang Town."

Gongsun Liang agreed, "Okay, mentor."

The reconstruction of Wendao Academy and Dongzhuang Town has always been carried out according to Jia Huan's idea: using labor for relief. Simply put, it is to let the villagers and kiln workers exchange their labor for food.

At the same time, Jia Huan encouraged them to do side jobs. It is only early September now, so it is definitely too late to grow food. However, it is still OK to grow vegetables in the fields, raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.

Of course, the most important thing is logging, rebuilding residences, building roads, cleaning up corpses, and preventing the epidemic.

According to Jia Huan's plan, the reconstruction of Wendao Academy will expand the land area three to five times, and cover the land east of Dongzhuang Town. The reconstruction of Dongzhuang Town will cover the Liujiawan 10 miles away.

The original permanent population of Dongzhuang Town was less than 1,000. Now, only villagers, the total number of kiln workers is 1,000, including nearly 200 people in Wendao Academy.

The reason why Jia Huan was confident that he could expand his plan was the existence of Wendao Academy. This year, Wendao Academy won 20 scholars and was famous in the capital. This is equivalent to a key high school in the future. It is not easy to build a town based on key high schools?

The education industry is a big cake.

Jia Huan's money-making plan is hidden in the reconstruction plan of Dongzhuang Town. There was a proverb in Shanghai at that time: I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a house in Pudong. Later, every inch of land in Pudong was valuable. For Jia Huan, who had the power similar to municipal planning, it was easy to make money.

The next morning, Gongsun Liang came to find Jia Huan sleepyly. Jia Huan had already had breakfast and went back to Dongzhuang Town. He discussed with Gongsun Liang at the gate of Wendao Academy.

The official road extending from the capital city points west from Liujiawan, 10 miles away to Yantang Village, about 50 miles away. There is a coal mine there. The official road facing northwest, Liujiawan, Dongzhuang Town, and Wendao Academy only have mountain roads. Jia Huan means to cover this large area of ​​land and establish a bustling town with academies as the system and adjacent to the official road.

Jia Huan had a big idea, Gongsun Liang was a little amazed, thought for a while, and said, "Junior Brother Jia, should we discuss with the government and get permission to act before taking action?"

Jia Huan laughed, "What are the benefits left to our academy when the government comes in? We can't help disaster relief once, right? It's a good deed? The imperial power does not go to the countryside, which is the rule of all dynasties.

Besides, I have learned about it. There are many such spontaneous gatherings in Jiangnan. They all have local wealthy families and the Chamber of Commerce cover taxes. The government does not care about the taxes. We are now going to do such things.

Of course, there will be very detailed problems to be dealt with, but with enough land and space to go back and forth, it will definitely be solved. Brother Gongsun has not forgotten that the academy still owe money, right?"

"Ah, of course I haven't forgotten. How did Junior Brother Jia plan to solve it?"

"We replace houses, stores, land, etc. We now have food. We can build enough houses, stores, and enclose enough vacant land."

Jia Huan said to Gongsun Liang one by one, and finally said: "Of course, the problem we are facing now is to solve the team's manpower problem first. After all, everyone still needs to study."

When Gongsun Liang heard this, he immediately smiled and shook his head, "Junior Brother Jia, don't worry about this. With your current reputation in the academy, just say hello, I can guarantee that the disciples in the academy will come now."

Jia Huan was stunned for a moment and then smiled. He had always resisted fame, which led to his current mentality not adapting to it. As Gongsun Liang said, he was now climbing a high place and responding to the scenery.

In the afternoon of that day, Jia Huan and Gongsun Liang went to visit the mountain chief and talk to the mentor, and solicit opinions on asking the academy disciples to help with their work. When they come out to do things, their homework will definitely be lost.

In fact, the academy has always maintained order, but the scale is gradually shrinking. Because it rained, elite disciples all went to the hospital for examinations. In addition, Jia Huan fell ill, the reconstruction work has been going very slowly, so the workload naturally does not require so many people.

Moreover, students naturally focus on reading as their main business.

Jia Huan is now in charge of large-scale reconstruction and to form a team, he must be the ones who need to be literate. In addition to the academy having this resource, it is really impossible to recruit a large number of literate people from the villagers.

Wu Shulang and others had some opinions. Even though the boy exam had just passed, and even if next year was the year of the provincial exam, the disciples really didn’t need to relax their homework.

The mountain chief Zhang Anbo supported Jia Huan's idea and said: "Sharpening a knife will not delay the chopping of wood. Now that the academy has not been built, how can the villagers outside settle down? The court will not give any explanation. Everyone is not in the mood to calm down and study. We don't care, maybe the villagers will cause trouble again."

He also said to Jia Huan: "Academy disciples will help you at most this winter. When the villagers settle down, the situation will stabilize next year. I think your reconstruction plan will not be effective in less than three to five years. At that time, you will recruit another group of people to complete your reconstruction plan."

He didn't read Jia Huan's plan carefully a few days ago. He supported Jia Huan, but he could not delay the disciples' studies.

Jia Huan nodded in a hilarious way and agreed.

The mountain chief didn't realize how much benefit the academy could gain in this reconstruction. Is it really a matter of giving it to him alone? To be continued.
